Abstract: An electric motor assembly includes a circuit board, a rotor assembly, and a stator assembly having a first end coupled to the circuit board and a second end opposite the first end. The stator assembly also includes an annular stator body having a plurality of inwardly projecting teeth. The stator assembly further includes windings wrapped about the stator body to form a plurality of coils. The stator assembly also includes a terminal coupled to an outer periphery of the stator body and extending longitudinally between the first end and the second end. The terminal is coupled to the circuit board at the first end and is coupled to the windings at the second end to electrically connect the windings to the circuit board. The terminal is molded to an attachment member, and the attachment member is molded to the outer periphery of the stator body.

Abstract: A battery pack has a housing, a core box, a stack of pouch cells, an end plate, battery pack terminals, and a circuit board. The core box is disposed in the housing and has a support surface. The stack of pouch cells are supported by the support surface. Each pouch cell has cell tabs that extend from a common side of the pouch cell. The end plate has slots, and the cell tabs extend through the slots. The battery pack terminals are electrically connected to the stack of pouch cells and can be electrically connected to an electrical device. The circuit board is coupled to the core box opposite the support surface. The circuit board is electrically connected to the stack of pouch cells and the battery pack terminals. The core box, the end plate, and the circuit board cooperate to enclose the stack of pouch cells.

Abstract: A power tool includes a soft-stop transmission having a first component and a second component. The first component is configured to receive torque from a motor to rotate the first component in a first rotational direction. The second component is connected to an output of the power tool and is configured to rotate in a first rotational direction in unison with the first component. The second component is configured to rotate in the first rotational direction relative to the first component in response to angular deceleration of the first component. A damping element is positioned between the first component and second component, and the damping element is configured to bias the first component in the first rotational direction and the second component in an opposite, second rotational direction.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing having a rear wall, a motor assembly coupled to the rear wall, and a plurality of mounting legs projecting from the rear wall toward the motor assembly. The motor assembly defines a motor axis, and includes a stator assembly defining a plurality of axially extending mounting apertures. Each mounting leg defines a threaded boss corresponding to a respective mounting aperture of the stator assembly, and each threaded boss is configured to receive a threaded fastener. The mounting legs are angularly spaced at unequal intervals about the motor axis.

Abstract: A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor positioned within the housing, the motor including a pinion rotatable about a motor axis, and a drive mechanism positioned within the housing and coupled to the motor. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear that engages the pinion and is rotated by the motor, and an output shaft driven by the motor to reciprocate relative to the housing. The output shaft is configured to support a tool element adjacent a forward portion of the housing. The drive mechanism includes a first counterweight coupled to the driven gear for rotation with the driven gear about a rotational axis, and a second counterweight spaced apart from the first counterweight and integrally formed with the driven gear. The first counterweight and the second counterweight are driven by the motor to rotate relative to the housing along a path.

Abstract: A blade clamp is configured for use with a power tool having a reciprocating spindle. The blade clamp includes a cover assembly rotatably coupled to the spindle, and a detent received within a first bore of the spindle. The detent is movable in a radial direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the spindle by engagement with the cover assembly to adjust the blade clamp between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The blade clamp further includes a sleeve in which the detent is slidably received. The sleeve is at least partially positioned within the first bore. A plunger is positioned within a second bore of the spindle. The second bore extends along a longitudinal axis that is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the spindle. The second bore is contiguous with a blade slot of the spindle.

Abstract: A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor, and a drive mechanism. The motor is configured to operate in a forward mode corresponding to a first rotational direction, and in a reverse mode corresponding to a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear, a connecting rod, an output shaft, and a counterweight. The driven gear is rotated by the motor and has an upper portion and a lower portion. The output shaft reciprocates through a cutting stroke and a return stroke. The counterweight is coupled to the driven gear and rotating with the driven gear. When the motor is operated in the forward mode, the counterweight moves through the upper portion of the driven gear during the cutting stroke of the output shaft, and moves through the lower portion of the driven gear during a return stroke of the output shaft.

Abstract: A seat system may include a door and a locking mechanism. The door may be movable between an open position and a closed position. The seat system may include a seat mounted to the door and including a seat bottom that may be movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The seat system may further include a locking mechanism operatively coupled to the seat bottom and configured such that movement of the seat bottom from the stowed position to the deployed position when the door is in the closed position causes the locking mechanism to engage fixed door-frame structure located adjacent the door and to immobilize the door against movement from the closed position. Movement of the seat bottom from the deployed position to the stowed position may cause the locking mechanism to disengage from the fixed door-frame structure and to allow the door to be moved from the closed position.
